Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Bi-monthly for residential customers; each billing cycle covers two months of usage. Commercial customers are billed monthly.
- Rate structure
- Metered water with a 5/8-inch residential minimum of $9.78 per two-month billing cycle, first 50,000 gallons at $2.18 per 1,000 gallons, next 50,000 at $1.98, next 100,000 at $1.80, next 250,000 at $1.76 and usage above 300,000 at $1.59. The bill adds the meter minimum plus consumption.
- Residential cost reference
- At 5,000 gallons per month, a typical residential two-month cycle of 10,000 gallons produces about $31.58 water ($9.78 minimum plus 10 times $2.18), or approximately $15.79 per month before sewer. Hixson bills sewer separately at the provider's rates, so a combined estimate requires the customer's Chattanooga or WWTA provider.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- Hixson bills sewer for Chattanooga Sewer and Hamilton County WWTA, but those authorities set the rates. Sewer is billed using total water consumption. Chattanooga residential customers receive a 10% sewer discount and a 12,000-gallon monthly/24,000-gallon cycle cap; Hamilton County WWTA customers have no equivalent cap. A dedicated irrigation meter is not billed for sewer.
- Meter reading
- Hixson bills residential customers on a two-month cycle and gives leak notifications and usage information through bills, but the reviewed pages do not identify AMI/AMR technology or a fixed meter-reading interval.
- Activation or transfer fee
- New service activity fees are $25 for next-day service, $35 for same-day service requested by 2:00 p.m. and $75 for same-day service requested after 2:00 p.m. A 5/8-inch meter tap fee is $1,200 plus road repair/crossing costs.
